Have not had a chance to try this yet, will try a little later tonight when i can reclaim the TV from the family.
But, based on the features you have listed, I see one more that would be incredibly useful.
As far as TV shows, XBMC will always default to 'folder.jpg' as the artwork for the show. Some skins (like confluence) assume this is a banner, and let you set an option to use 'poster.jpg' as the artwork. Conversely, some skins (simplicity is the one i am familiar with) assume 'folder.jpg' is a poster and allow you to set an option to use 'banner.jpg'.
Since it does not appear the base code is going to move away from using 'folder.jpg' anytime in the near future, it would be useful as I am downloading the artwork to be able to either name the banner or the poster files 'folder.jpg' as they are downloaded. Even better would be to make a copy of the selected file (banner or poster) and name the copy 'folder.jpg'.
Or (and I'm really dreaming big here) how about the ability to bulk change the 'folder.jpg' to either a banner or poster.
Interestingly, I don't think there is an external scraper out there that has this functionality... if you could accomplish this you would be on the cutting edge.
Thanks for listening.
